1.1
Structure of Aldehydes and Ketones
A carbonyl group (C=O)
In an aldehyde is
attached to at least
one H atom.
In a ketone is attached
to two carbon groups.
R = Alkyl or Aryl
group

1.2
Nomenclature of Aldehydes
Guidelines:Aldehyde as parent (suffix - al)
Nomenclature of Aldehydes
Aldehyde carbon is assigned as number 1, despite
the presence of alkyl substituents, pi bond or
hydroxyl groups

INCORRECT!!

Nomenclature of Aldehydes
Dialdehydes are compounds that contain two
aldehyde groups. They are named by adding the
suffix dial to the corresponding hydrocarbon
name.
For example a molecule with four carbons and
two aldehyde groups is called butanedial.
Nomenclature of Ketones
In the IUPAC system, all ketones are
identified by the suffix one.
Find the longest continuous chain
containing the carbonyl group, and
change the e ending of the parent alkane
to the suffix -one.
Number the carbon chain to give the
carbonyl carbon the lowest number.

IRCarbonyl Absorption
Most aldehydes have a carbonyl peak around 1730 cm1,
whereas for ketones, it is typically around 1715 cm1.
Ring size affects the carbonyl absorption in a predictable
manner.
24
IRConjugation Effects
Conjugation leads to a somewhat weaker C=O bond, thus
shifting the carbonyl absorption to longer wavelengths.
